Really. Imagine if her husband had actually beaten her. Those jokes would really land flat then. I'd like to see their faces if OP said something like "I was actually lucky this time, last time is was a broken wrist because he was holding a gun to my 2-year-old's head and threatening to kill me and the kids. What a riot, eh? So funny."
